Be it known that 1, JAMES Hermon DAN- VER, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing et Beaver, in the county of Beaver and State 5 ofPennsylvzuiia, have invented or discovered, at certain new and usei'ullnu irovement in Means for Securing Fixtures to Supporting-Surfaces, ofwhich improvement the tol lowing is a specification.

My invention is illlustroteil in the accomsn in" (Irswin s. of whichFigure 1 shows, partly in elevation and partly in vertical section, alavatory secured to o floor bv'm s curuw means: on;- th 2 1/ a h & e sesection on line ll ll ol Fig. 1.

My ihvention is peculiarly applicable to the securing of luvntories fordomestic use to floors, and this upplimbility is illustrated in thedrawings. The luvoli ry there shown consists of u columnar pedestalsupporting o.- bnsin Such e hivzitory is ordinarily formed of porcelainor enameled uu-tnl, and the co- The interior of the hollow pedestal isaccessible for the purpose of marking lost the securing moons, and such:i construction is illuslrstod also in my copeudmg application; SerialNo.

may be secured. The extensible web, as shownin the drawings, consists oftwo parts 1 and 2, .secured by bolts 3, which pass through slots'formedin the extensible web, thus providing for extension. The extensible webis brought into the recess in the molding immediately above theprojecting portion a and is there extended until it makes contact withthe walls and is then secured by the bolts 3. A toot ornnchor portion 4is rigidly secured to the floor, and the extensible web is rigidlysecured to this foot, as by means ol :1 bolt 5, provided with a nut 6for bolt 5 is accessiblethrough the hollow pedestsl, and thus nut (i maybe turned down and the ports secured.
